Dentists in Luton

HealthWise lists 28 dental services in Luton, and all 28 are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). They cover all four Luton postcode districts, LU1 to LU4. None of them has a CQC rating in our data, so the checks below matter more than a star rating.

Where the Luton dental listings are

  • LU1: 11 listings, including Luton Dental Health Centre on Guildford Street, Luton House Dental Practice on George Street and two practices on King Street.
  • LU2: 5 listings, including Village Dental Practice on Hitchin Road and Vogue Dentalcare on Crawley Green Road.
  • LU3: 6 listings, including Sundon Dental Practice, Bramingham Dental Clinic and Marsh Farm Dental Practice.
  • LU4: 6 listings, including Beech Hill Dental Practice and Leagrave Dental Sedation Clinic on Dunstable Road.

Two listings are specialist orthodontic practices: Sharing Smiles Orthodontics on Alma Street and The Tomlinson Ave Orthodontic Centre. You can filter every Luton clinic by category on our Luton clinics directory.

CQC ratings for Luton dentists

All 28 Luton dental listings are CQC registered. In the CQC data we hold, 12 are shown as "Inspected but not rated", 1 has no published rating, and 15 have no rating recorded. None carries an Outstanding, Good, Requires improvement or Inadequate rating.

Where a listing has an inspection date, the most recent in our data are Sharing Smiles Orthodontics (March 2024), The Dental Surgery on High Street, LU4 (January 2024), The Tomlinson Ave Orthodontic Centre (December 2023) and Vogue Dentalcare (September 2023). You can search any practice by name on the CQC website to read its latest inspection report.

NHS dental charges in Luton

NHS dental charges are set nationally, so they're the same in Luton as anywhere else in England. From 1 April 2026:

  • Band 1, £27.90: check-up and examination, X-rays if needed, and scaling if clinically needed.
  • Band 2, £76.60: everything in Band 1 plus fillings, root canal treatment and extractions.
  • Band 3, £332.10: everything in Bands 1 and 2 plus crowns, bridges and dentures.

Urgent NHS dental treatment costs £27.90. Our Luton data doesn't yet record which practices take NHS patients, so ask each practice directly whether it has NHS places for adults or children.

What to check before you book

  • CQC registration and report. Search the practice on the CQC website and read its most recent inspection report.
  • GDC registration. Every dentist, hygienist and dental therapist in the UK must be registered with the General Dental Council. You can search the GDC online register for free.
  • NHS or private. Ask before your first appointment, and ask for a written treatment plan with costs.

For an urgent dental problem, NHS 111 can help you find a dentist or an emergency dentist if one is available in your area. In a life-threatening emergency, call 999. Read our dental care guide for more on treatments. This page is information to help you choose a clinic, not medical advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

HealthWise lists 28 dental clinics in Luton, in postcode areas including LU1, LU3, LU4. All are registered with the CQC.
Availability of NHS dental appointments varies by area and changes often. Check each practice's listing for its NHS/private status, then contact the practice directly to ask whether it is currently accepting new NHS patients. The NHS website's 'Find a dentist' service and NHS 111 can also help, especially for urgent needs.
NHS dental treatment in England is charged in fixed bands set nationally — a lower band for examinations and simple treatments, and higher bands for more complex work such as fillings, crowns or dentures. Charges are reviewed annually. Some people (for example children, and those on certain benefits) are exempt. Cosmetic-only treatments are generally not available on the NHS.
For severe pain, swelling, bleeding or trauma, contact your dentist as soon as possible — many keep emergency slots. Out of hours, call NHS 111, which can direct you to urgent dental care. If there is difficulty breathing or swallowing, or significant facial swelling, treat it as a medical emergency and call 999.
